order to include the Republican, but II
failed for want of majority vote OF the
board, and the matter stands as before.
The board is conscientiously opposed to
extravaganza, especially in its expense Of

We notice that what are termed
"anti.treating" societies have been
formed in several towns In Geor.
gia, and prominent among them is
Macon. The members each sign
a card in which they solemnly
swear that they will not drink with
or ask any one to drink In any
public place or elsewhere any
spurious or malt liquors, wine or
cider, nor will they engage in any
game of chance in any public
place or elsewhere for liquor in
any of its forms, either spiritous
or malt, as a forfeit. We have al.
ways considered this style of SO.
cial drinking the most aggravated
evil of the saloon system, as well
as to the individual who "sets 'em
upD and thus "gets too fulI,' az
well as losing his money by SO do
ing. We have often In the past
remarked that we wished thai
there was o heavy penalty for ask
ing another to take a drink as vel
as for the one who would accepl
the invitation. Ii such were the
case individuals would generally
only drink what they wanted, and
probably many of the evils Of so
ciaI drinking would not wind up
